Caesarian Sunday Sees Cambridge Students Drinking Port Out Of Condoms, Stripping And Vomiting In Park

Drinking port out of condoms, stripping naked, vomiting and drinking themselves unconscious. No, it's not an 18-year-old's post-exams party in Zante, it's students at one of the world's best universities celebrating the arrival of summer.

Sunday's scenes are perhaps not so shocking when one takes a look at other Cambridge ceremonial rites.

Varsity, the university's student paper, talks of the annual Val Thorens skiing valley rally, which included: "the act of dangling the scrotal sack in someone’s mouth, at every checkpoint, flaming socks being placed on male genitals, the consumption of sweets from various orifices," with the winners being awarded with a trip to Canada.

And it's not just the boys. "Another well-known society’s initiation for female members is alleged to involve the member-to-be standing on a chair, lowering her tights and an existing member dipping her fingers in wine and simulating digital penetration."

However it's not only Cambridge students who indulge in such "shocking" ceremonies.

In March, the University of East Anglia rugby team was disbanded after members attended a party dressed as Baby P and Klu Klux Klan extremists, while a Nazi-themed drinking game played by the London School of Economics students resulted in a Jewish student being left with a broken nose after a punch-up.
